LESSON 8 


Hawk Eye sang this song to Medas: 

CANOE SONG 

Will you take a ride with me, 

In my little light canoe? 

We shall have a holiday, 

If I may call for you! 

Will you take a ride with me, 
Where the water lilies grow? 

The little stream winds in and out, 
With willows bending low. 

Medas liked the song very well. 

Hawk Eye sang it again. 

Then Medas fell asleep.

yellow.

He said to Medas: “What else 
shall I paint?” 

Medas said: “Paint the stars 
on the wigwam. 

Hawk Eye painted the stars 
and moon. 

Then he painted the 
pine trees.

cones on them.

I to-day.”

trees.

teach you to 
write.” 

He drew this 
picture for 
Hawk Eye.

a canoe.”

learned to hunt.

Hawk Eye said: “Please tell me a story!” 



LESSON 20 

Bald Eagle said: “You made a picture of 
the moon.”

The dragons like to eat up the moon, 
j Some day they will eat the moon all up. 
Then the dragons will go home. 

When they get home, a new moon comes.

moon. 

These dragons are always hungry.

Hawk Eye said: “When will you hunt with 
me?” 

Bald Eagle said: “We will go next

Thunder.”

Medas said: “Little Eskimo, can you name 
the papoose ?” 

Little Eskimo said he knew only one pretty 
name. 

They all said: “Tell us the pretty name.”

Claus.”

They said: “Gitchee Manito called us. 

“He told us to bring our clubs.” 

All the tribes of Indians came. 

Gitchee Manito said: “We will have peace.” 
He made a great pipe to smoke. 

He called it the peace-pipe. 

LESSON 45

woods to hunt in.”

They did as they were told. 

They buried their war-clubs. 

They said: “We will wash our faces.”

They took the pipes home with them. 

They did not quarrel any more. 

They were at peace.

AUTHOR’S NOTES 


As each teacher will have her own way of presenting the lessons, the 
following notes are meant to be merely suggestive. 

In some classes one lesson may be used several days;, with other 
classes a good deal of additional work may be given. 

The lesson should be put on, in the presence of the class. Where 
this is not found advisable, have a curtain cover the work from day to 
day. 

Every lesson should be illustrated by drawing, picture, or object. 

Vary the method of presenting the lesson from day to day and have 
frequent reviews. 

Study the life of Indians in general. 

This book forms an excellent introduction to the story of “Hiawatha.’’ 

The author, a teacher of long experience, extends her best wishes to 
the teachers who present the story of “Hawk Eye.”
